One of our local ranges has a varmint shoot that limits bullet weight to 105-109 grains, depending on bullet, where they shoot distances out to 600 yards. I don't know enough about the various small calibers and/or the 6mm or 6.5mm calibers to know which ones would perform and which ones wouldn't when shooting bullets of this weight. I thought about the 6.5x47 but don't know enough about its abilities with lighter bullets. Also, it would be nice to have a gun capable of going 1000 yards with a heavier bullet to fulfill two needs.
So, do I have many options for building a gun that does well up to 600 yards with light bullets and can go long with heavier pills or would it be best to build a dedicated gun for the light bullets and intermediate ranges?
Any help is appreciated.
